choanal atresia (non-canalized nasal passages)

Dx with nasal catheter or checking for fog under nares

Tx nasal tubes

27
Q

result of meconium aspiration

tx

A

systemic hypoxia and pulmonary HTN
(meconium is sterile but when aspirated it stims release of cytokines and vasoactive subst –> inflam)

intubation + tracheal suction + o2 mask

Q

neonatal hypothermia places baby at inc risk for ___

A

hypoglycemia

32

10-90%

34
Q

what is the cause of hyperviscosity syndrome in neonates?

tx?
